Chuy’s, one of the most beloved Tex-Mex restaurant concepts, is opening its first South Florida location in Doral on Tuesday,March 13, 2018. The opening will mark the 9th Florida location and 91st restaurant overall for the established brand, which opened its first restaurant in Austin, Texas 35 years ago.

The Doral location is an ideal environment for Chuy’s – it’s an exciting, growing community hungry for new and fun places to dine and drink.”

The menu offers an explosion of flavors, featuring authentic dishes crafted with hand-rolled tortillas made fresh all day on a traditional comal in the dining room. The recipes come from New Mexico, the Rio Grande Valley, Mexican border towns, South Texas, Austin, and beyond.
